JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player

Looking for a CD transport. I will be playing redbook CDs only and would be using the SPDIF output to my DAC. 
I was thinking to get the JAY'S Audio transport, but now that PS Audio discounted their DirectStream Memory Player, I can't decide between the two. Has anyone compared those two?

following up on garrards' 11-18 post, PS Audio is going direct. My guess is they are forced to discount by the amount that dealers were getting.

I imagine plenty of recent buyers through dealers will be pissed

I had both. The Jay's CDT-2 Mk.3 is better sounding and built better for less money. If only looking to play Redbook the Jay's transport is better hands down.

@snopro you've already heard/owned the brand new (2021) MK3? Did you also happen to hear the MK2 from the past couple years?
